SADNESS
Sadness showed
in her face:
so silky smooth
and wet with tears.
As mushrooms
in spring time.

- Comment from author about the poem: A shortie today plus the very first painting I ever posted on this site back in 2016. And the reason for posting it? Well it was sold only a few days ago.

Love the artistic comparison used in these few clever lines Michael..... great abstract which brings sadness to another dimension.
Thanks Fay. I had the painting in the house for a while (I change round the art work indoors on a regular basis) before returning it to the studio where it was bought along with two others by the same purchaser.
A fine write and pic Michael.
Cheers O
Brilliant write Michael.
It is great that you have sold the Abstract i have seen it before and as you know I am enthralled by your abstract art.
Thanks Andy
Brilliant in every way, thank you!
My pleasure dear Sir.
Cooeee, the evening here yet?!
yup - it's just called round.
Very interesting juxtaposition of Painting 'n Poem Uncle Mike ~ which you may not have fully appreciated ! Im back from the field trip so my visual senses (and imagination) are high ! When I first saw the painting (as orientated) I saw a a Young Lady (one track mind ?) with her face to the pillow ~ floating in space and covered by an ephemeral blanket ! Her arm & hand are also visible ! How would I title it ? SADNESS ! WHY ? It shows in her face ~ silky wet with tears ~ as (white) mushrooms in spring time ~ TOUCHE ! Of course you knew that and (as so often) were just teasing ! ?
Blessings & Peace in all your work with PEN 'n BRUSH
We are ALL blessed by your Posts ~

Me? I know nothing! Flattered that you should see so much in my work. Thanks so much for all your great observations.
Such sadness, but the analogy brings forth a smile, for a mushroom is to be plucked!
mmmm mushrooms and black puddin!
we have a small concrete mushroom in the garden which is the home of a fairy we call Enid - kitsch, mad but a bit of fun.
I do like mushrooms but they Must be freshly cooked in butter and properly seasoned.
And toast, and sausages, and tomatoes, and eggs, and baked beans, and rabbits tongue, and kidneys. Mmmmm. Oh - and real coffee.
I can visualize image of her in this abstraction, a great piece.
I can't paint in color, can't see the depth, so I stay with charcoal and minimalism.
Charcoals great - I draw with it regularly - thanks Suresh.
A souper little post and then some..
How abstract can ya get
Delicious with a swirl of cream and maybe a sprinkling of croutons... N
Mushroom souper? Cheers Neville.
Sadness, yes, as a dolphin swims in a polluted sea. No, I don't see a woman's face. Mushrooms, yes in a gravy over steak, any time of year.
Michael, this short poem and awesome art are a dynamic duo. For all the "sadness" seen by everyone in the artwork, there is also a brightness of hope , I guess, that is present also. Just great stuff. - Phil A.
Excellent construction Micheal
